The status of the English particle NOT and the negative adverb NEVER
Original language description
The paper compares the English clausal negators not and never, focusing on the problem of characterizing the constituency of the negative particle not. It summarizes the traditional criteria for the categorial classification of not and never, as these are the two basic formal means of clausal negation in English, and in some contexts they can be used as functional equivalents. Then it provides an analysis of those elements in a current generative framework. The study argues that although not is a head of a negative "polarity projection" (?P) in both clausal and phrasal negation structures, the lexical item not is not merged in the tree in the same way. Phrasal negation is a structure which adjoins a ?P headed by "not" to another phrasal constituent, while clausal negation is the merge of a ? head "not" which projects the clause into ?P. This distinction is able to explain the intervention effect of not on verbal morphology. The study also uses the notion of late insertion of grammatica
